New Paintings on display!

A collection of my oil paintings are currently on display at the 5th Ave. Anthropologie in Seattle. The show will remain up through June, hope you can drop by to take a gander.
Here are my two newest pieces.
The thistle painting was done from one of the photos I took while Seth and I were hiking in Switzerland in 2008. I don't usually do botanical illustrations, so this was kinda an experiment. I really enjoyed it and wouldn't mind doing a few more.
The lion painting was partly inspired by my trip to the zoo a while back and partly by my desire to do alphabet illustrations. Hence, L is for lion. :)

I love the lion... He looks like he's got a MoHawk (that's a good idea: punk lions).

I wish there was more green in the thistle painting, but i'm probably not seeing it on my computer screen.

yeah. green is good. probably could have used more. :) seth was surprised by the purple. I think I tend towards greens, yellows and reds, so the purple was a nice way to switch it up.
